This "The Goddess" you mention-- is that all one person? I mean, if one of you knows the Goddess, and another one does too, do you know the same person, or do you each mean something so specifically personal that it is unique to you?

A very good question. But couldn't it be asked just as well about the conventional Jewish/Christian/Muslim God - the old sourpuss?

Of course, if you did ask it about Him, in the middle ages or the G. W. Bush administration, you'd probably be burned at the stake. So I won't ask.

Peter.
